The One-Sentence Review: Shin Megami Tensei IV

I have a bit of a confession to make: I’ve never played a Shin Megami Tensei game. Other than watching a friend play Persona 3 and Persona 4, as well as personally playing (and enjoying) Persona 4: Arena, I’ve had no exposure to the Atlus franchise. That didn’t stop me from seeking out Shin Megami Tensei IV, however. The depth of the 3DS JRPG intrigued me, as did the demon/pet-based battle system. So I bit the bullet, picked up a brand new 3DS XL, and got a copy of the game.
